I developed a terrible lower back/hip problem years ago when I was in the academy from the daily rigors of PT. I went to see a chiropractor who took an x- ray and ominously pointed out an abonormaility. He basically said I'd be afflicted with pain for the rest of my life but his treatments would help in managing the pain. Weeks of treatment did nothing but lighten my wallet. It got so bad I almost had to drop out of the academy.
Desperate for a 2nd opinion I showed the x-rays to a sports medicine MD who shook his head and literally laughed out loud saying it was perfeclty normal. Long story short- he gave me a prescription med and some specific stretching excerises and I was good as new in 10 days. Twenty some odd years later I'm still fine.
I know that some people swear by their chiropractors while others consider them quacks...what do you think of them?
